PREFACE 


This  work  is  designed  especially,  but   not 
exclusively,  for  the  younger  classes  of  Bab- 
bath-schools.       It    embraces   a   general    and 
connected    account   of   the    most    important 
events  recorded  in  the  Old  and  New  Testa- 
ments.    The  answers  to  questions  are  short, 
p  simple,  and,  as  far  as   practicable,  in    Bible 
i  language.     In  the  New  Testament,  the  ques- 
*  tions  on  the  Evangelists  are  taken  from  them 
all  collectively,  and  not  in  the  order  of  any 
ne  in  particular.    Such  a  general  view  of  the 
j  contents  of  the  Bible  seems  necessary,  as  an 
'introduction  to  the  study  of  particular  por- 
ions  of  it. 


4  PREFACE. 

The  series  of  Union  Questions,  in  sixteen 
volumes,  published  by  the  Society,  is  now  used 
more  or  less  extensively  by  all  evangelical 
denominations,  and  is  found  well  adapted  to 
the  development  and  illustration  of  divine 
truth.  This  little  manual  may  be  regarded 
as  introductory  to  that  series. 

fig?*  The  chapter  and  verse  containing  the 
answer  are  stated  whenever  it  is  practicable ; 
and  the  teacher  can  enlarge  the  course  of 
instruction  at  his  discretion.
